With the help of our master, I managed to become someone under Lucas!
I thought about changing the plot for Athy,
But I didn't knew I'd bear feelings towards Lucas.
"I'm sorry, Lucas..."

"My precious, precious, Maui... Did you miss me?"
"..."
"You did?! I did, too! I missed you so very much."
"..."
"That lucas, he dared to kiss you in front of me?!"
"..."
"Don't worry, it's not your fault, my Maui."
"..."
"What? You want to kiss now?"
"..."
"Ahh, of course I want to."
He leaned closer to kiss her, but to his avail, she reacted quickly and sent him flying off to the wall with her mana. He was shocked because she was able to move without his permission.
"W-Why did you do that, dear Maui??"
"..."
"Answer me!"
"...Lucas."
"..."
"..."
He blasted her to the wall which didn't got enough reaction from the doll. She just stared in the distance with a blank expression across her face.
But to his surprise, blood were already rolling down on her cheeks.
"I love you so much, Lovely Maui. Don't cry.."
He went to her and tried to touch her, but he was pushed to the wall with her mana, again.
"You're starting to annoy me, Maui!!"

Like...
A sculpture of ice, without a single drop of blood from his veins.
Someone who has never once called his daughter's name with warmth.
The heartless emperor from the books.
"..H-His majesty's orders."
The knights were about to grab Athanasia's arms until a purple light surrounded the girl and pushed them both away from her. The princess's eyes widened when she recognized the mana.
"Any who treats or do something badly towards the princess, Athanasia De Alger Obelia, will face my wrath. Even if it's his majesty, the emperor Claude De Alger Obelia."
In a dark dark place, there sat a purple haired girl who has her arms and legs restrained with a mana chain. When the knights triggered the protection spell,
The girl flinched.

"Diana?" I called out to the blonde haired woman who's standing before me with a sad expression across her face.
"You're not supposed to be here, Maui!" She cried which made me realize what's happening.
"Am I perhaps..dead?" She shook her head and grabbed my hand.
"No! You're just restrained and it's taking your life force, bit by bit!" She started dragging me to God knows where.
"H-Huh?? What happened? Where are we going?" I questioned as she pulled me.
"You were abducted by the man who I presume is, Claude's brother! We're going to find a door for you to use and escape this world! The curse he casted upon you is killing you slowly, so we must hurry up!"
"But, do I have any reason to go back?"
She stopped dragging me and let my wrist go. She slowly turned to me and I widened my eyes when I saw a disappointed expression across her face.
"Maui, do you love the royal magician?"
My world stopped when she blurted out such a question.
"W-What do you mean?"
"Maui, pardon my words. But, you're being cowardly right now."
All I can do was stare at her with pure shock.
"..."
"I realized after I observed you for years, you're acting like a coward."
I looked down, not wanting to stare to her eyes any further.
"..."
"Are you still going to lie to yourself by saying that you don't bear the same feeling the royal magician has towards you?"
"What?" I looked up to her in confusion.
"Can't you see? The royal magician loves you, Maui."
"H-Huh??"
"He doesn't love Athanasia, but you."
"No..if he did, then-"
"-Maui, you can't force someone to stop loving another person. Have you ever thought how painful it was for him to endure this?"
"..."
"Maui, do you really want for him to move on? To let go of you? Can you see him with another person, other than you?"
Her questioned made me rethink everything that I've done, tried to stop, and forced to ignore.
She's right, I do love Lucas..more than anything. I just tried to ignore my feelings since he wasn't meant to be mine. I've acted like a cowards because I was scared, scared of what might happen in the near future. I loved him more than I thought I would.
"I don't want to see him with someone else, I won't be able to bear it." I answered as I gripped on my dress.
"Then, do something about it. Don't let him go when he's still there, waiting for you to come back in his arms." She smiled.
I gathered all my strength and courage before nodding my head. She grabbed my hand and we continued searching for the exit.
Wait for me, Lucas!

"Tell me, is Maui still alive?"
Lucas is currently with the world tree. When he asked that question, the world tree remained silent like a ghost. This irked the male since he has no time for silly games.
"A great sacrifice will be given."
His eyes went wide when the world tree actually spoke. He would've been relieved if it actually answered his question, but it only angered him more because of the statement it gave him.
"Sacrifice?"
